The two-dimensional coupled implicit Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the RNG k?ε turbulent model were employed to investigate the flow fields of cavities with different geometric configurations, namely the classical rectangular, triangular and semi-circular, and the cavities with the fixed depth and length-to-depth ratio. At the same time, the drag force performances of the cavities were estimated and compared. The obtained results show that the numerical results are in very good agreement with the experimental data, and the different scales of grid make only a slight difference from the numerical results. The intensity of the trailing shock wave is much stronger than that of the leading one, and the area around the trailing edge of the cavities plays an important role in the chemical reaction in the scramjet combustor. With the fixed depth and length-to-depth ratio, the triangular cavity can strengthen the turbulent combustion in the scramjet combustor further, but impose the most additional drag force on the scramjet engine. The classical rectangular one can impose the least additional drag force on the engine, but the function of strengthening the combustion is the weakest. The influence of the semi-circular one is the moderate, but the machining process is more complex than the other two configurations.展开更多
In order to discover the effect of head cavity on resonance damping characteristics in solid rocket motors, large-eddy simulations with wall-adapting-local-eddy-viscosity subgrid scale turbulent model are implemented ...In order to discover the effect of head cavity on resonance damping characteristics in solid rocket motors, large-eddy simulations with wall-adapting-local-eddy-viscosity subgrid scale turbulent model are implemented to study the oscillation flow field induced by vortex shedding based on the VKI （yon Karman Institute） experimental motor. Firstly, mesh sensitivity analysis and grid-independent analysis are carried out for the computer code validation. Then, the numerical method is further validated by comparing the calculated results and experimental data. Thirdly, the effects of head-end cavity on the pressure oscillation am-plitudes are studied in this paper. The results indicate that cavity volume, location and configuration have a cooperative ef- fect on the oscillation amplitude. It is proved that Rayleigh criterion can be used as a guiding principle for the design of reso- nance damping cavity. The change of the head-end cavity breaks the balance between the mass flux and acoustic energy. Therefore, the pressure oscillation characteristics change accordingly. It is concluded that a large mass flux added at the pres- sure antinode could attribute to significant amplitude. Meanwhile, the damping effect of the cavity is stronger when the dis- tance between cavity and pressure antinode becomes shorter. Finally, this method is applied to the modification of an engi- neering solid rocket motor. The static test of solid rocket motor reflects that the oscillations can be effectively suppressed by a head-end cavity.展开更多
